MS-Excel can edit HTML?
Sep. 24th, 2002 05:19 pmHoly cow! Load a .html file into MS-Excel and it just works! Sure, it adds a lot of style-sheet stuff, but I can remove that later.
I edit HUGE tables in HTML. I've grown fairly proficent at it, but it is still a pain. (People are amazed at how quickly I can write HTML in vi in real-time, including tables and such. Someone once told me I should sell tickets.) Despite this, I'd rather not have to. Now I can just load them into MS-Excel and use all of the editing tricks and keyboard shortcuts that it includes. Finally a way to sort by a column!
Best of all, when I'm done, I can save it as HTML and my non-Windows friends can read the data.
I think this is going to be a big time-saver.
